Info on arrow changes

[Kala Asuras]

I just wanted to pass this on.  Beghn is looking at improving crafted arrows.  Good and bad news as you can read <a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=a4&message.id=3660">here</a>.<div></div>

What a joke. Why don't they just delete the ranger class and be done with it.<div></div>

<font color="#ffff00">They can get by with store bought ammo but should rather want player crafted ammo.<font color="#ffffff">Well DUH. People don't use crafted crap because it's too expensive. And who cares about arrows that will only be used on RAID BOSSES anyway? The only way using a bow is going to be viable in the future is if they gives us small SCUD missles to lob at our targets.I can see this now. Ultra Carbomegantium Alloy Arrows, 100p per stack of 2, % DPS increase, - 14%.Seriously, they will put in new mega pricey crafted arrows and nerf the hell out of our summoned arrows to make us think we are getting a deal.</font></font><div></div>

<div></div>If the crafted Arrows are supposed to be better for your DPS then the Ranger should out DPS a Wizard then because the Wizard pays nothing for their DPS ability.
